He went on for a long time,<br \/>\nand finally he was very tired, so he dropped down on the sea the<br \/>\nlittle round stone which his father had given to him. It became<br \/>\na large rock way out at sea.<\/p>\n<p>Gigante descans\u00f3 sobre \u00e9l y se refresc\u00f3, y se quit\u00f3 la piel de cuervo.<\/p>\n<p>At that time there was always darkness. There was no daylight then.<br \/>\nAgain Giant put on the raven skin and flew toward the east. Now,<br \/>\nGiant reached the mainland and arrived at the mouth of Skeena River.<br \/>\nThere he stopped and scattered the salmon roe and trout roe. He<br \/>\nsaid while he was scattering them, &quot;Let every river and <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/creek-seminole-mitologia\/\">Cala<\/a><br \/>\ntener toda clase de peces!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Then he took the dried sea-lion bladder and scattered the fruits<br \/>\nall over the land, saying, &quot;Let every mountain, hill, valley,<br \/>\nplain, the whole land, be full of fruits!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The whole world was still covered with darkness. When the sky was<br \/>\nclear, the people would have a little light from the stars; and<br \/>\nwhen clouds were in the sky, it was very dark all over the land.<br \/>\nThe people were distressed by this. Then Giant thought that it would<br \/>\nbe hard for him to obtain his food if it were always dark. He remembered<br \/>\nthat there was light in heaven, whence he had come. Then he made<br \/>\nup his mind to bring down the light to our world.<\/p>\n<p>On the following day Giant put on his raven skin, which his father<br \/>\nthe chief had given to him, and flew upward. Finally he found the<br \/>\nhole in the sky, and he flew through it. Giant reached the inside<br \/>\nof the sky. He took off the raven skin and put it down near the<br \/>\nhole of the sky. He went on, and came to a spring near the house<br \/>\nof the chief of heaven. There he sat down and waited.<\/p>\n<p>Then the chief&rsquo;s daughter came out, carrying a small bucket in<br \/>\nwhich she was about to fetch water. She went down to the big spring<br \/>\nin front of her father&rsquo;s house. When Giant saw her coming along,<br \/>\nhe transformed himself into the leaf of a cedar and floated on the<br \/>\nwater. The chief&rsquo;s daughter dipped it up in her bucket and drank<br \/>\nit. Then she returned to her father&rsquo;s house and entered.<\/p>\n<p>After a short time she was with child, and not long after she gave<br \/>\nbirth to a boy. Then the chief and the chieftainess were very glad.<br \/>\nThey washed the boy regularly. He began to grow up. Now he was beginning<br \/>\nto creep about. They washed him often, and the chief smoothed and<br \/>\ncleaned the floor of the house. Now the child was strong and crept<br \/>\nabout every day.<\/p>\n<p>He began to cry, &quot;Hama, hama!&quot; He was crying all the<br \/>\ntime, and the great chief was troubled, and called in some of his<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/mythes-et-legendes-slaves-1648\/\">eslavos<\/a> to carry about the boy. The slaves did so, but he would not<br \/>\nsleep for several nights. He kept on crying, &quot;Hama, hama!&quot;<br \/>\nTherefore the chief invited all his wise men, and said to them that<br \/>\nhe did not know what the boy wanted and why he was crying. He wanted<br \/>\nthe box that was hanging in the chief&rsquo;s house.<\/p>\n<p>This box, in which the daylight was kept, was hanging in one corner<br \/>\nof the house. Its name was Maa. Giant had known it before he descended<br \/>\nto our world. The child cried for it. The chief was annoyed, and<br \/>\nthe wise men listened to what the chief told them. When the wise<br \/>\nmen heard the child crying aloud, they did not know what he was<br \/>\nsaying. He was crying all the time, &quot;Hama, hama, hama!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>One of the wise men, who understood him, said to the chief, &quot;He<br \/>\nis crying for the maa.&quot; Therefore the chief ordered it to be<br \/>\ntaken down. The man put it down. They put it down near the fire,<br \/>\nand the boy sat down near it and ceased crying. He stopped crying,<br \/>\nfor he was glad. Then he rolled the ma about inside the house. He<br \/>\ndid so for four days. Sometimes he would carry it to the door. Now<br \/>\nthe great chief did not think of it.<\/p>\n<p>He had quite forgotten it. Then the boy really took up the ma,<br \/>\nput it on his shoulders, and ran out with it. While he was running,<br \/>\nsome one said, &quot;Giant is running away with the maa!&quot; He<br \/>\nran away, and the hosts of heaven pursued him. They shouted that<br \/>\nGiant was running away with the ma. He came to the hole of the sky,<br \/>\nput on the skin of the raven, and flew down, carrying the maa. Then<br \/>\nthe hosts of heaven returned to their houses, and he flew down with<br \/>\nit to our world.<\/p>\n<p>At that time the world was still dark. He arrived farther up the<br \/>\nriver, and went down river. Giant had come down near the mouth of<br \/>\nNass River. He went to the mouth of Nass River. It was always dark,<br \/>\nand he carried the ma about with him. He went on, and went up the<br \/>\nriver in the dark. A little farther up he heard the noise of the<br \/>\npeople, who were catching olachen in bag nets in their canoes.<\/p>\n<p>There was much noise out on the river, because they were working<br \/>\nhard. Giant, who was sitting on the shore, said, &quot;Throw ashore<br \/>\none of the things that you are catching, my dear people!&quot; After<br \/>\na while, Giant said again, &quot;Throw ashore one of the things<br \/>\nyou are catching!&quot; Then those on the water scolded him. &quot;Where<br \/>\ndid you come from, great liar, whom they call Tx&auml;&rsquo;msem?&quot;<br \/>\nThe (animal) people knew that it was Giant.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore they made fun of him. Then Giant said again, &quot;Throw<br \/>\nashore one of the things that you are catching, or I shall break<br \/>\nthe maa!&quot; and all those who were on the water answered, &quot;Where<br \/>\ndid you get what you are talking about, you liar?&quot; Giant said<br \/>\nonce more, &quot;Throw ashore one of the things that you are catching,<br \/>\nmy dear people, or I shall break the maa for you!&quot; One person<br \/>\nreplied, scolding him.<\/p>\n<p>Giant had repeated his request four times, but those on the water<br \/>\nrefused what he had asked for. Therefore Giant broke the ma. It<br \/>\nbroke, and it was daylight. The north wind began to blow hard; and<br \/>\nall the fisherman, the Frogs, were driven away by the north wind.<br \/>\nAll the Frogs who had made fun of Giant were driven away down river<br \/>\nuntil they arrived at one of the large mountainous islands.<\/p>\n<p>Here the Frogs tried to climb up the rock; but they stuck to the<br \/>\nrock, being frozen by the north wind, and became stone. They are<br \/>\nstill on the rock. The fishing frogs named him Tx&auml;&rsquo;msem, and<br \/>\nall the world had the daylight.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haida-Tlingit-Tsimshian Mitolog\u00eda Wiki Los Tsimshian (Sm&#039;algyax: Ts&#039;msyan) son un pueblo ind\u00edgena de Am\u00e9rica del Norte.
